Engine update
Yesterday's game update brought a new version of the game engine, client version 950-1, to complement the new Vulkan beta. To be honest, when I first heard about that, I was expecting far bigger disruptions to Bolt plugins, but thankfully the only issue was relatively minor.
Please note: despite the timing, this version is *not* intended to add compatibility with the Vulkan beta. Since Bolt is based entirely on OpenGL hooks, supporting the Vulkan renderer would be an immense undertaking, requiring me to start the reverse-engineering process entirely from scratch. With the official plugin API coming next month it's likely I'll never need to do this.
Plugin library:
- Updated for yesterday's game engine update, which caused all icon-related plugin features to stop working
Launcher:
- The launcher version is now shown in the general settings tab

0.23.026 Jun 2026
Fix login issues
The recent login issue was caused by a seemingly-innocent change to the way the remote login page was configured, but fixing it involved a significant rework to the launcher component of this project, and I am one person. It's likely there will be new bugs in areas that were previously working. Please report any issues, and thank you for your patience and understanding while I worked on this.
Launcher:
- Fixed issues preventing people from logging into the launcher, most commonly manifesting as the "white screen issue"
- Swapped the position of the account drop-down and login/logout buttons to prevent them from overlapping
- Added a confirmation dialog when logging out of an account
Plugin library:
- Added "scale" and "vertexpointscaled" API functions to render3d events, mainly for the sake of the new player avatar models
- Fixed game-view overlays being drawn in the wrong place for some players
